Train
I woke up early with the sun in my eyes and the dream still clear in my mind
I walked out of my life and out of town, with my bags just as it started to rain
I sat right down by the railroad track just like it had been in the dream
I laid down my load, with nothing to lose and waited for the train
Now after a while my friend came by just to see what I was goin through
And we talked about the way everybody seemed to be waiting for something new
to come along and change the way we are & what we're gonna do
and after a while she sat right down there and started waiting too
A few days later folk were stopping by and some of them would stay
we had tents & fires & music & stuff the biggest party that you ever saw
soon we were getting organized building homes & growing our food
I thought we'd really found a new way to live, a blueprint for a better way
& I got so busy that I almost forgot just what I was waiting for
A year has come & gone and you wouldn't believe just how things have changed

everyday there's more people here I never knew so many felt the same
But still sometimes I think about the dream & how my life would have been
on a rainy day in summertime waiting for the train
Now our kids have grown old and I'm getting tired as I look back on what we've done
we've schools & shops & doctors & things and a sense of who we are for sure
But there's still no sign of change in the world or the things that we're hoping'll come
And sometimes I think maybe it's all inside what we're waiting for
In the dead of night I sat by the track all alone as the stars unfurled
I felt younger as the world grew old and I don't think I'll be coming back
put my ear to the ground and I heard a rumbling sound like thunder from another world
then a blinding light and a screaming steam and the last thing I saw was the train
coming down the track
